Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:
1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s
To convert 497.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 497.1 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s
497.1 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 497.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 839.01027996428 ft/s
The final result is:
497.1 kt → 839.01027996428 ft/s
We conclude that 497.1 knots is equivalent to 839.01027996428 feet per second:
